Making Solar Cells a Reality in Every Home: Opportunities and Challenges for Photovoltaic Device Design
Globally, the cumulative installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity has topped the 100-gigawatt (GW) milestone and is expected to reach 200 GW by the year 2015. More than 90% of the installed PV capacity employs bulk-silicon solar cells. Engineering problems that include thermal and optical challenges hav...
